Here's Autumn. I'm still trying to stay away from smiles and pouty lips so here's a new expression. The "there's a squirrel in my hair" expression. I wanted each girl or something about the image to interact with the frame. I thought of this when I turned my sketchbook around on an angle. I couldn't quite get the colours of this jpeg to match the Illustrator file, something about the translation process. I just ended up saving it for web. I'm hoping that if/when I print it to sell, the colours will end up more like the original file.

I'd also like to say that the symbol sprayer is wicked fun. I would have spent hours copying those leaves around manually without it. Thank you Adobe!

The expression and coloring are great. A squirel attacking her hair? Priceless.

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion,
It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed,
The hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning,
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

Almost sounds like a mastercard commercial. Thanks!

I'm still digging this no outline thing. The squirrel's expression makes it for me even more than hers. He looks like his name is Rufus, and like he has a British accent, and enjoys polo on the weekends.

I've never trusted squirrels -- the furry little bastards!

I love the sense of motion in this piece, and besides, autumn is my favorite month;D

It's so cute!! :giggle:
I love the facial expression, it definitely suits the "I've got a squirrel in my hair" thing. Absolutely charming...
